trebel of children's voices and the waving
of dainty handkerchiefS, rs the four white
horses bearing the Presidential couple
came prancing By, made very animated
scene, which greatly pleased and interest
ed the visitors.
1t is the boast of St Paul people that no
other city has a residence street with so
many beautiful views rs Summit avenue,
and the lovely hills on which the city lies
looked their best this morning In their
garb of autumnal foliage. At every turn
of the broad, winding avenue, new vlstas
of loveliness opened between palatial
residences to the smoked wreathed valley
and the purpling hills beyond. Not
many private residences were decorated,
bat that of p. II. Kelly was handsomely
adorned and beautiful arch spanned the
street in front of il.
AT the residence of Mayor Smith, the
President, Mrs. Cleveland and Governor

took of some light refreshments. No

mained at Mayor smiths residence after
the drive, while the President was taken
TO the Minnesota Club, where the mem
bers Of the club were
PRESENTED To HIM
aud an informal hut elegant little lunch
was served, Congressman Rice. Governor
McITill. Judge Nelson and TWO or three
Others SittiDy down with the Presidents
party.
Mrs. Cleveland was driven to the sta
tiun by Mrs Smith meeting the PreSi-
ient there at 1890, when the start for Min
neapolls was made amid the hearty fare
well cheers from the crowd which had
gathered. P. II Kelly was the last TO say
goodbye, as be had been first to welcome
the President. The President and Mrs.

gamers. last night, that it was the finest
and most unique exhibition Of ekind he
ever saw, aud both he and Mrs. Cleveland
were ''as pleased As children, " says Gov
ernor McGin, over the handsome residences
